The All-Important Aspect Os the Senatorial Race FOR a calm, clear, just assessment of the merits of the Senatorial contest one need go no further than the terms in which the Moultrie Observer, a paper never given to hasty or superficial judgments, comes out in support of Senator Smith. Not ai a partisan or a player of the game of pol itics, but as a student of the State’s best interests and a power in South Georgia’s up building, the Observer tells why it considers the senior Senator’s re-election of paramount importance. That he has implacable ene mies, “made in hard fought battles of the past,” it readily grants—enemies who refuse to see in the light of a new day and who assail him with all the charges which hostile imaginations can devise. Nevertheless, “Despite these charges, brought in bit terness and strife, we believe that if the voter who earnestly desires to serve his State in the best manner possible, will take the record of Senator Smith since he has been in politics in Georgia, an alyze it, weigh that which has been of public benefit and in the interest of the people against that which has been selfish and factional and unworthy, they will find a great preponderance on the side of his able, honest and unselfish service in behalf of the State he repre sents.” The force of this statement lies in its strict adherence to facts and in the obliga tion which those facts press home to open minded, right-hearted citizens. Some there are whom prejudice has so blinded and fac tion igm so embittered that they cannot see ttnutruEti. These are recklessly abusing Sen aGJf. Smith, and in their effort to divide the State’s loyal vote are doing more to aid Thomas E. Watson than all other influences combined. But Georgians of the type for whom the Moultrie Observer speaks—and we doubt not that they constitute the great rank and file—have a better sense of what is reasonable and fair. Numbers of them have differed with Senator Smith on past is sues and have opposed him with the ear nestness of deep conviction. But they do not think that therefore they are bound to ig nore present issues or spend the remainder of their days brooding upon last year) s birds’ nests. They can see no sanity in disregard ing the plainest evidence of Senatorial worth and the manifest interests of the Common wealth simply because they disapproved of some things the Senator did in seasons gone. They will not shut their eyes to a rec ord of high serviceableness and dance to .’actional pipings that please no one so much is Thomas E. Watson. As thoughtful citi zens, holding the welfare of the State su preme and having the high interests of Democracy at heart, they are resolved to rote in the forthcoming primary as present issues and present duties demand. The issues are peculiarly practical and clear. On the one side stands an experienced public servant, of proved ability and integ rity, whose committee positions and estab ished friendships in official circles give him nvaluable Influence, a Senator who is con structive in purpose and outlook and whose •ecord bears abundant witness to his use fulness to Georgia. On the other side stands i political adventurer, an inveterate foe of the Democratic party, erratic, destructive, mable to work with others for the common good. Such was the clearly drawn contest into which the feudists whose ruling pas sion is hatred of Senator Smith injected a third candidate and which they are seeking ■,o becloud with irrelevant issues. But watch ful men will not be deceived. They will irasp the situation in its broad and only rue aspect as a race between Senator Smith md Mr. Watson, and will vote thereon as rea son and patriotism demand, not diverted by false factional cries. America and France THOSE on this side of the water who for some strange reason appear bent upon chilling the friendship betweeen tmerica and Franec will be disappointed in he latter’s friendly reception of our Govern aent’s pronouncement touching the Polish tussian problem. “On the main point,” as he New York World points out, “France nd America are of one mind—the national ndependence of Poland must be preserved, loth are equally determined that the Bol hevik Government under Lenine shall not eceive recognition as representing Russia, lowhere is there a hint that either for ex ediency’s sake will shift its ground. Both rom conviction stand where they have stood 11 along. It is left to Russia to right its own ousehold as a condition of being admitted o the company of civilized nations.” It augurs well for the world-wide cause of reedom and just dealing that the two great who for a long age have stood as arm mutual well-wishers and who late ly were joined in a noble comrade hip of arms should find themselves till friendly and still in accord on a rave matter of common concern to civil ation. Many and insidious have been the Torts to disturb that friendship. Americans live been asked to credit the old Potsdam anders and to believe that the nation who tood rock-like at Verdun, lifting her immor il “They Shall Not Pass,” is unworthy to be listed and loved. But who that thinks could slieve the lie? THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. Agriculture In Export Trade WHILE the need of increasing agri cultural production as a means to Internal prosperity is generally un derstood, the Importance of the farm out put in foreign commerce is not so well ap preciated. Yet the largest two items in Amer ica’s more than eight billion dollars’ worth of exports for the last fiscal year were prod ucts of the plow—foodstuffs, $1,984,414,684, and raw cotton $1,331,566,797. Take these away, and our favorable trade balance will be almost if not altogether gone. Manufac tures, it is true, did a vast deal to swell the total; and it is greatly to be hoped that they will bulk steadily larger, for in them lie the richest sources of profit. Still, It is to agriculture that we now look for the maintenance of that trade status on which the common prosperity so materially de pends. This is particularly worth pondering at a time when labor shortage and other un toward circumstances threaten sorely to cur tail the country’s farm activities. Every business concern from the largest to the least has cause to be Interested in arrest ing and reversing that trend, for the very vitals of commercial and financial vigor are Involved. It is almost axiomatic that bounti ful harvests bring good times; and certain ly a thriving overseas trade in which the bal ance remains in our favor makes for gener al business strength. Plainly, then, the en couragement of farm development and farm production should be the effort, not alone of those who are directly interested, but of all whose good fortune is bound up in the common weal. Especially is this true of the South, where the business benefits from agricultural plen ty are immediate and specific as well as far-reaching. This region has natural re sources for multiplying many times over our present volume of exportable farm products and also for supplying much of the large amount of food commodities which the United States now imports. This latter has reached astonishing proportions. During the last twelvemonth we bought from foreign quarters forty-five million dollars’ worth of vegetables, sixty million dollars’ worth of breadstuffs, one hundred and twenty mil lion dollars’ worth of fruits and nuts, besides seventy-five million dollars’ worth of cocoa, and three hundred and seventeen million dollars’ worth of coffee and tea. The last three items excepted, all of these supplies, as well as vast quantities of food and cotton exports, could be produced in the South. Where else are the paths to prosperity so straight and sure? Some Cruel Statistics THOSE of us fond of dreaming out golden futures for ourselves —and who, the sunny side of forty, is not?—will find but few grains of encour agement in some recent statistics compiled by a national bank in the middle west. This worthy but cruelly prosaic institution es timates that— Forty years hence— Out of every 100 healthy young men now 25 years old, Thirty-six will be dead, One will be “rich,” Four will be “wealthy,” Five will be working to support them selves, and Fifty-four will be dependent upon rela tves, friends or charity. Name of Pessimism! but this is coming to earth with a jolt. Out of every one hundred men around you of approximately your same age, ninety-sjx are doomed to see the fabric of their dreams torn to shreds, for who of us, at fifty, wants to be dead, work ing in the poorhouse or saddled on our kind but impatient kin? Who, in fact, would be anything but “rich,” or, at the least, “wealthy?” Moreover, note the deliberately harsh lan guage of this brutal bank—every one hun dred “healthy” young men! Are you healthy? Can you conscientiously, complain ing as you do of that headache or that toeache or that backache of last week or the week before, set yourself among the privileged one hundred who may, if they live or escape the poorhouse or their rel atives or their job, enjoy riches or wealth forty years hence? Miserable man, you with your ailment may not even speculate on the chance of being among the thirty-six corpses! But enough of this heart-breaking mate rialism. To twenty-five all things are pos sible. Let us forget the ninety and six and dream only of the fortunate four. Away with statistics; Gertrude, the ouija board! Construction as a Cure General Salvador alvarado, a Mexican journalist of distinction and influence now visiting in the United States, says that his country under its new administration has far-reaching plans for economic, agricultural and educational con struction. The new Government, it seems, is prepared to spend twenty-five million dollars in the purchase of American railroad equip ment, and contemplates similarly large out lays for public works and schools, its idea being to devote to such purposes the major portion of the funds hitherto used for the upkeep of a numerous standing army. If this broad-visioned policy is carried out, a new day will dawn for the Mexican people, a day of golden peace and opportunity and progress. Lack of constructive enterprise and activity has been responsible for a vast deal of that country’s trouble. Thousands who have followed ruffian adventure might have been orderly citizens, had ways to honest livelihoods been open and the simple boon of freedom undenied. Thousands of mere fighters might have been sturdy producers, had work and encouragement been offered. The problems of life are not solved like those of mathematics by rules and formulas, but by acts and purposes. No form of govern ment, no political or economic theory will cure Mexico’s ills, nor any other nation’s. But steady, constructive work and just deal ing will cure them. Build railroads, build highways, build schools, build opportunity for the rank and file, build substantial foundations for con tentment and self-respect, and the problems which politicians and militarists have only complicated, will work out their own solu tion. Warsaw's Thirteenth Siege THE gray capital of Poland is now in the shadow of her thirteenth siege. It was in 1655 that Charles Augustus, of Sweden, captured Warsaw, wich even then was among the richly historic centers of Europe. A year later, she was wrested from him by the unconquerable Poles, only to be seized shortly afterward by Augustus the Second, of Saxony. Thenceforward through the drifting ages the city has been repeatedly a storm pivot of national and in ternational conflicts. It was long before the first faint outlines of modern Europe appeared, however, that Warsaw had her beginning. Far back in the ninth century, as the historian tells us, “Conrad, a Mezovian duke, erected a MKI« on the banks of the Vistula, which two cen turies later was built into a fortress; and from that time on, the hundred inhabitants grew steadily until they became the seven hundred and fifty thousand of today.” In the long, eventful centuries of her life War saw has played many a dramatic role on Europe's stage; as been buffeted by Slavic invasions to the west and by Prussian and Swedish invasions to the east; has reeled and flamed with revolution; has struggled heroic ally for traditions and ideals; has known grim sorrows, high exaltations. No crucial time of Warsaw’s and Poland’s past has involved more for them or for the world than their present stand against Bol shevism’s red onset. It is the obvious, indeed the avowed will of Lenine and his clique to destroy all government that does not comport with their theories and interests. Nor will they confine themselves to propaganda, if mil itary force can be mustered to the attack. To crush Poland, the frontier state of Euro pean democracy and civilization, would be a rare victory for the Bolshevist cause and a dark menace to the world. So it is that the nations watch Warsaw’s thirteenth siege as a stage whereon destiny looms large and far reaching history is being made. AIDS TO ORIGINALITY By H. Addington Bruce IF you want to dp really original work in whatever vocation you have chosen, and thereby Insure to yourself a deserved suc cess, you must, of course, read widely and carefully regarding your vocation and its problems. Only thus can you store in your mind adequate material for creative think ing. But you must be equally careful not to be content with storing your mind with mate rial. You must spur your mind to think for itself during and after your reading and also before you do any specialized reading at all. This is something most men seem to forget. They may read with the utmost diligence, but they read with an attitude of passive recep tivity rather than in any questioning, critical, pondering spirit. And they do too little wholesome, mind-exercising “guessing” be fore they read. Possibly this is because they feel they are so ignorant that their guesses will be ab surd. Perhaps they are right in thus feeling, perhaps not. Their later reading would dem onstrate to them the absurdity or the sound ness of their guesses. But in any case by guessing they would make their minds active agents, not passive recipients—would “tune” them to accom plishment in away impossible to mere gour mands of other people’s ideas. And, after all, to think of one’s self, to think vigorously and Independently, is really the only means by which originality may be won. As Knowlson has incisively remarked- “To think for one’s self is the final law of inspiration—the one royal road to ideas, if so be that such a road exists.” Nor is it only fear of guessing absurdly that paralyzes the guessing, originating fac ulty. Lack of interest in the vocation chosen, in the problem to be solved, has the same pernicious effect. Every great originator in the history of mankind was an enthusiast regarding the task he set himself to do. Darwin, Newton, Gali leo, Dante, Goethe, Napoleon, Edison—name whomsoever you will among the famous orig inators, and always you will find whole souled absorption in work and enthusiasm for work prime characteristics. And, naturally, the more a man enjoys what he is doing the more he will think about it. The more he thinks about It the greater the likelihood that his thinking will have original results. For which reason if your work is now tedious to you—if you value it only for the cash it brings in to you—either cultivate a true, ardent interest, in the work itself or' else abandon all hope of highly original ac complishment in it. You can never think about it in an original way, because in your heart of hearts you are reluctant to give it any thought whatever. Develop enthusiasm; be not afraid to guesk; these of a truth are the greatest of all aids to originality. Nay, they are more than this. They are fundamentals in originality. (Copyright, 1920, by The Associated Newspapers.) LLOYD GEORGE By Dr. Frank Crane The province of the journalist is not only to criticize but to appreciate. Beacuse most people love fault-finding the rewards and fame of the supercilious are quick. The wasps and blowflies love a conspic uous man, as Junebugs love an electric light. The most conspicuous man of our time is undoubtedly Mr. Lloyd George. Every theo rist in the world has taken a crack at him. He has been the disposing mind of Great Britain throughout the greatest crisis of her history. He has kept in the saddle during rough rides that would have unhorsed any other living man. He has attacked, retreat ed, stood, parleyed, defied, yielded—but he has saved his company. He has outlasted the spokesmen of all other countries. Clemenceau, Orlando, Wil son have passed. The little Welsh attorney remains. He is the most consummate politilcan, us ing the word in its best sense, Great Britain ever had. He is pastmaster in the art of getting things done. G. Stanley Hall, in his recent book, “Morale,” which every intelligent person ought to read, says: “One of the most clear and obvious conclusions from the incompar ably complex life of our day is that the chief criterion of true leadership is the power to compromise. All those in power must be ready to accept a part when they cannot get the whole.” Herein Lloyd George excels. Any one, even the weakest, can be stub born. It is the most highly developed type that “stoops to conquer.” Lloyd George is the healthiest-minded man in the history of statesmanship. He has what is better than the excellence of any vir tue; he has balance. As premier of England he realizes that he is not there to be a martyr to his convictions —he has something far more important on hand than saving his face, he has to keep the Ship of State from going on the rocks. He has something more vital to do than be honest, to be true, and to be successful; his is the herculean task of being as honest, true and successful as possible. He is not an opportunist. He is the hired man of Destiny, and is not too coarse to deal with kings nor too fine to kill rats. He incarnates that morale of which Dr. Hall writes: “To grapple with a great and vital problem, to act aright in novel condi tions undaunted by their difficulties, and on great occasions to be able to summon all our energies and focus them upon a new goal, when this involves the very conditions of survival, is the essence and acme of morale. The psychology of greatness teaches us that it consists chiefly in seeing everything in the here and now, or in the power of ‘presentifl cation,’ while the weakling flees from reality. Not only has all human progress since the origin of man been made by those who had the ‘excelsior’ type of morale, but animal species through all the evolutionary ages have survived according as they had the power of adaptation to the great cosmic changes that went on in their environment.” (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.) The Tourist Rush for Colorado By FREDERIC J. HASKIN DSNVER, Col., Aug. 19.—First a mining town, then a health resort, Denver has now be come the chief tourist target of the nation. Hundreds of thou sands of tourists alm for this point every year, many of them to settle down for the entire summer and others to make the city their tem porary headquarters while they tour the surrounding national parks and monuments. For Denver is the gate way to our great national park sys tem, the natural entrance to that vast western region which the gov ernment has set aside for the pres ervation of trees and the recreation of the public. This season has brought an un usually heavy rush of sightseers, so that the hotels, boarding houses and camps are crowded to their utmost capacity; the postal card and curio stands are doing an unprecedented business, and the kodak supply stores are getting way behind in their work of developing films. The streets are filled with strangers from Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania. Some of them wear their state pennants patriotically wrapped around their arms, while others are easily placed by their native inflections. Parties with fishing tackle mingle with par ties carrying golf sticks and tennis rackets while along nearly every curb are parked sightseeing automo biles, gradually filling up with pas sengers. The other evening an old man with a white beard and bent shoulders stood on a downtown street corner qnrveving the crowd while waiting for a street car. Two cars, laden with tourists, had already Passed without stopping, and as the writer approached, another car swept scorn fullv by The old man looked help lessly about, and then removing a ‘‘Mv God!” he muttered hoarseiy, ’•‘the gold rush was never like* this.

This camp de luxe is naturally a great drawing card to vacationists touring the country in their motor cars. Last year, it is estimated, a total of 4,676 cars were parked on the grounds and over 13,000 persons took advantage of Its facilities. This year, according to the authorities, it is accommodating almost twice as many. Another convenience maintained by the city for the benefit of visitors is a tourists’ free information bureau, which tells you all about the places you should see and how to get there, and otherwise acts as a sort of com bined Baedeker and Cook service. As there are fourteen one-day trips into the mountains and thirty-eight short scenic, rail, trolley and auto trips to points of interest, the bewildered tourist is desperately in need of such assistance. Denver itself possesses many spe cial features of interest to the sight seer, but with the Continental Di vide dominating the horizon of the city, the average tourist usually gives one look and then exclaims, “Lead me to the mountains!” All the tallest Colorado peaks are there in full view, with the exception of Fike’s peak, which is concealed from the average eye by distance and mist but is always discernable to the na-> tives. On a clear day, some of the mountains appear so near that you can almost count the spruce trees on their purple sides, but in unset tled weather they look like a long, scalloped gray cloud barely visible against the darker gray of the sky. Many Places to Go As a matter of fact, the nearest ones are fifteen miles away, and one of the shortest auto trips from Den ver to , the mountains covers seven ty-five miles and takes half a day. This is the trip through the Denver municipal mountain park system, the most popular of all the fourteen mountain journeys, leading first to the City of Golden, the old capital of Colorado, and the home of the State School of Mines, and thence up Lookout Mountain. Not until you reach Golden, which lies at the foot of the mountains, do you realize how high they are and how apparently tortuous the trail which your auto mobile is going to ascend. « On the day that we made the trip as a member of a tourist party or ganized at our hotel, our hotel guide, usually a morose, disappointed-look ing person, was for some reason in an exceedingly jubilant mood. He had a humorously fancy name for every tree or rock that we passed, and when we reached Golden he stopped the car and began a satirical account of the hazards we were about to face on the climb up Look out Mountain. Unfortunately, how ever, the back seat of the car was occupied by a couple of southern la dies who took his harangue quite lit erally and who became so frighten ed at the prospect of driving over the so-called Lariat Trail that they insisted upon getting out of the ma chine. “But I can’t make the trip for any less,” objected the disconcerted guide. (He was referring to fares.) “Oh, we will pay for our share just the same,” declared one of the ladies magnanimously, “but I sim ply can’t go up that mountain. I had no idea it would be like that. I’m from New Orleans where we’re at sea level or barely above it, and I know the altitude would make me sick. And just look at the way that road curves around up there with out a thing to hold onto.” At this point, one of the natives of Golden approached the car to see what had happened, and between his sturdy eloquence and the impressive assurances of the guide, the ladies were at last induced reluctantly to resume their seats. “I was only joking,” replied the guide, as we continued the trip. “Why, driving over Lookout Moun tain’s about as dangerous as driving over the plains of Kansas.” As we steadily ascended, it be came apparent that the guide’s state ment was only too true. No nerve racking thrills were encountered, much to the disappointment of the little boy who was with the party, but much scenery of the type which turns every traveler into a Colorado/ enthusiast. At the top of the first; ascent from Golden the car stopped and everybody climbed out bn M rocky ledge, the timid southern la dies included, to get a superb view of the broad valley below. From this point also, the guide pointed to the giant crevice at our feet where the first Colorado gold mine is said to have been located, commenting upon the better-known features of the early gold rusk. 1 CURRENT EVENTS A recent epidemic of cholera in Korea has resulted in 3,125 cases and 600 deaths. In the heavy fighting that is now raging in Poland, 100,000 Poles are arrafed against 160,000 Bolsheviki. according to the estimates of Ma jor General Henry T. Allen, com mander of the American army of oc cupation. In New York there are 382,039 peo ple who can neither read nor write or who cannot speak English. These statistics were revealed by the last census and have started a campaign to give this great army of illiterates a chance to get an education. A miscellaneous batch of 161 Reds, I. W. W.’s and Communists will soon be tried in Chicago under the drastic Illinois law, following the recent con viction of William Bross Lloyd, the millionaire radical, and twenty of his incendiary colleagues. Fear of a sugar famine this fall Is a thing of the past now, the a.uthor ities say, since the price of raw sugar began to tumble. Fifteen cents a pound, with a probable further re duction when the new Cuban crop comes in, is predicted as about the figure that housewives will pay over the counter. The German people are doing in voluntary penance for the war in more ways than one. Reports to day show that the residents of many leading cities of the former kaiser’s domain are now forced to travel on foot when they want to go any where. Enormously increased cots of operation have’ shut down the trolley lines. At least 1,800 refrigerator cars must be assembled between Buffalo and Rochester by the New York Central and Erie railroads in order to handle successfully the peach crop of New York state, which will ripen in about ten days, according to the public service commission. A request has been forwarded to the interstate commerce commission to take steps to insure a minimum loss in movement of the fruit. The original manuscript of “Home Sweet Home,” is said to have been buried in the grave with Miss Harry Harden, of Athens, Ga. She was John Howard Payne’s sweetheart, but refused to marry him in defer ence to her father’s wishes. After she was separated from her lover she shut herself in the old family mansion, seeing none but a few members of the little church to which she belonged.—From the In dependent. The first snow storm in more than a decade swept San Trago, Chile, last week. About six inches of snow fell. The fall was heavier than any shown by the records for more than twenty years. In the mountains the storm as sumed blizzard proportions, with drifts of six feet, interrupting com munications between the coast and the cities of the central provinces. Somebody murdered somebody else on an average of twice a week in New York during the first six months of this year, according to the trecords of the district attor ney. In this harvest of fifty-two violent deaths, thirty-two were kill ed with firearms, eleven by knives or’ daggers and nine by blunt in struments. Not one conviction for first degree murder hag been obtain ed and sixteen of the killings are still unsolfed. In the vicinity of Artesia in the Whittier district, California, is lo cated the largest electric hatchery in the world. This plant now has a ca pacity of about 100,000 eggs and a weekly output capacity of about 30,- 000 chicks. During seven months of the year this plant is working at full capacity most of the time and the annual output will average close to 750,000 chicks. It is here that the first successful electro-incubation has been achieved. Uncle Sam is now paying more than 5,000 men and women to serve as sleuths in various departments of the government. These detectives and investigators are recruited from all walks of life and some of the federal branches are constantly del uged with applications from ambi tious young men who think they are cut out for successful careers as crime discoverers. The secret serv ice department, for instance, which is the oldest wing of Uncle Sam’s detective forces, now has a waiting list of 12,000. Immigration took a jump upward during the past week, for in all, 12,- 787 aliens were inspected at New York, and in addition, immigrants of three more steamships which arriv ed here have yet to g° through the mill. The total of arrivals for the week was 15,704. Inspection of the 1,351 on the Ro chambeau, 996 on the Niagara and 570 on La Savoie was held up yes terday because of the congestion on Ellis Island. Commissioner Freder ick A. Wallis spent most of Friday night preparing places for 1,900 de tained immigrants to sleep in the big concourse where inspections are held. It is not snowing on Mars, ac cording to Camille Flammarion, France’s veteran star gazer, who has taken up the scientific cudgels against American and British astron omers who thus explain the reap pearance of the vast white spot on the planet. M. Flammarion says the tempera ture there at this time of the year is nearly as comfortable as it is at Beauville or Atlantic City, and also ridicules the idea that Martians have found a new method of signal ing the earth. The savant contends the spot is merely a plateau higher than Thibet, which has not been seen since 1879, due to atmospheric obscurity. Whistling is prohibited in the city of Agana under penalty of a five dollar fine by order of Captain Gil mer, governor of Guam and com mandant of the United States Naval station here. The order reads: “The practice of whistling is an entirely unnecessary and Irritating noise which must be discontinued. It is therefore ordered and decreed that no person shall whistle within the limits of the city of Agana. The penalty for a violation of the order shall be an executive fine not to ex ceed $5 Captain Gilmer has full author ity in making the laws of Guam, this perhaps being the only United States possession where one man has the power. / Canada's 1920 wheat crop has been estimated by ojclals of the agri cultural department at 262,338,000 bushels against the final estimate of 193,260,000 bushels last year. The oat crop is expected to be 496,966,000 bushels this year against 394,387,000 bushels in 1919. Barley also shows a substantial increase, this year’s fig ures being 63,438,500 bushels against last year’s figures of 56,389,400 bush els. >• Those preliminary estimates are based on the actual conditions of the crops July 31. The total yield of hay and clover is estimated at 12,853,900 tons and probably will fall somewhat short of last year's record crop of 16,348,000 tons. The alfalfa crop is estimated at 308,7000 tons for the first cutting against last year's crop of 494,200 tons. America’s first and oldest toy maker is dead. He was Jesse Ar mour Crandall, a New Yorker, and he passed away in his eighty-sixth year last week, during the excessive ly hot weather that visited the east. He made his first toy—a revolving wheel —when he was three years old, using a jacknife to do it with. Be fore he was ten he had invented sev eral playthings that were popular with Young America around Christ mas time. He owned patents on more than 200 toys when he died. The spring hobby-horse, block houses, several kinds of velocipedes and swings and numerous other devices were among the things that the toy maker evolved for millions of chil dren. Crude rubber tobogganed to the lowest point in its history last week when it was quoted on the New York market at 28 cents a pound, 40 per cent lower than figures six months ago. Seven years ago it was as high as $1 a pound. Whether the decline will be reflected later in cheaper boots and automobile tires remains I te S* 1 SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920. A YOUNG girl who is just start ing out to earn her own bread and butter, and cake, asks me if I can tell her how tn miocppd Surely daughter. Just put your heart in your work. Love yonr job. Go at it with enthusiasm, and you can not fail. Enthusiasm is as contagious as the measles, and if you have a bad case of it, other people will catch it from you and break out in a rash of faith in you and assistance to you. You can only interest others in the thing in which you are interested yourself. You can only convince others of the worth of the thing in which you believe with all your soul. Even God only helps *hose who help themselves. A woman, who is the highest paid saleswoman in the country once told me that when she first started out as a very *young and inexperi enced traveling saleswoman, that she was trying to sell a big bill of goods to a particularly hard-shelled and grumpy merchant. She wasn’t mak ing much headway, until a man, sit ting near and watching her efforts, put in a word that turned the scale for her and captured a splendid or der. When she later tried to thank the man who had come to her rescue, he waved her aside. “Oh,” he said, “everybody will help a person who is as much interested in her work as you are.” And that’s the whole of the law and the prophets, as regards suc cess, daughter. Everybody will give you a boost up the ladder, if they see you are dead bent on climbing to the top, but no one will shove you up if you sit down at the bottom of it, and look as if you didn’t care whether you moved up or down, or had any interest in ladders, anyhow. You are starting out as a stenog rapher. You are a little slow. You make a good many mistakes. Your spelling isn’t as dependable as it should be. If you are lackadaisical and bored looking, and dawdle around with the air of an early Christian martyr because you have to work at all, you will be fired at the first slackenuing of business, or shelved to some obscure place where your inef ficiency will do the least harm, and you will never rise any higher, or get any better pay. But if you go at your job with en thusiasm, if you let your employer see that your very soul is concen trated on pot hooks and typewriters, and that your every thought is con cerned with attaining the highest ef ficiency in your work, he will be pa tient with your mistakes, he will take the time and trouble to teach you business methods, and he will put you in the line of promotion. It is your attitude towards your work that counts. It may seem to you not to matter whether you are interested, or bored stiff by the dic tation you take, but it does.

The flotilla will take a short cruise along the Atlantic seaboard in a week or so, stopping at several ports, and then some of Uncle Sam’s dread noughts will blow them to pieces.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS PUT YOUR HEART IN YOUR JOB BY DOROTHY DIX The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer (Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) death-of-this-sort-of-thing person is a kind of lightning rod that runs his own electric currents of hope and en thusiasm into the ground, and no business man can afford to have her around him. And he won’t. Apply the enthusiasm test to your own experience. Suppose you want to buy a hat. You go into a millin ery shop, and a languid young per son comes forward, smothering a yawn behind her hand, and looking % as if she hated you fpr dlsrorrbing her meditations b/ your ill-timed de- 4 sire for new headgear. She brings ycu the first two or three hats she can lay her hands upon, without even looking at the shape of your face, and your complexion, to see the style that will suit you, then she claps them, hit or miss> on your head, and it’s up to you to take or leave them. , That girl couldn’t sell you a hat In a million years. The one who gets your money is the clerk who is on her tip-toes, who regards a hat as the noblest work of art, and herself as a sort of miracle worker who makes homely people pretty by put ting the right sort of lids on them, who fluffs your hair, and holds the mirror this way and that, and is so enthusiastic about the hat she is try ing to sell you, that she actually hypnotizes you into believing that if you buy it, nobody will fee able to tell you and Lillian Russell apart. Put your heart into your work, daughter. Get so interested in what you are doing, that it won’t be wrok any more. It will be play. You know the allure of the game consists in putting your skill of head and hand against some opponent, or som* adverse conditions. Take that sport ing spirit with you to business. Match your cleverness in selling against the customer’s doubtfulness about buying. Make a bet with ths dictionary tnat it can’t down you on spelling. Break the speed limit with your typewriter. Go exploring into the history of every article your firm sells, and the routes they travel to get to tnelr destinations. Business is the big game of ths world, and it’s a fascinating thing to have even the smallest part in it, if girls only would realize it. Put your heart in your work, daughter. Don’t let your job be a side interest, something you think about when you are not thinking about clothes and dances and ths movies, and whether Sob will coms around tonight or not, but let your work be your chief interest. Lie down and rise up with the thought of it. Eat and sleep and drink ths thing you are trying to do, and your success is assured and your pay en velope will grow fat. Put your heart in your work, for where your heart it, there is your treasure also. You bet it is. In business.

SOMETIMES it looks to a woman as though a man takes up golf just in order to have something to get “swearing mad” about. Nobody who has not been snap shotted in a bathing suit by a relent less summer kodak-fiend knows how terribly a woman can be “misrepre sented'’ in this life. Perhaps if a bored husband could watch his wife act all through • five-reel movie drama without hear ing her utter a word, he would fall in love with her al over again. It isn’t his eyes, but his ears, that grow so weary after marriage. A man can sympathize with ev erything except a woman's passion for suffering. After the third time he seen her weep, her tears have no power to move him—except to move him toward the door. If all the complaints uttered by husbands at the breakfast table of the average summer resort could be consolidated into one vast wail, they would drown the music of the spheres and make Wagner turn over in his grave with envy. Why only "filet mignon?” Every thing is so "mignon,’’ nowadays! Why not tfya “marriage mignon,' the “apartment mignon,” the “dog mig non,’ the “income mignon.” ‘sugar mignon”—and so on, ad infinitum? The only way in which the aver age wife learns anything about her husband’s real thoughts and opinions is by gathering them from his friends; a clock that strikes only the half-hour is frank and communi cative beside a man in the bosom of his family. When a man says, “Let’s forgive and forget!” he means that if the girl will do the forgiving, he will do the forgetting. Alas, when a husband does any thing from the “highest and noblest motives,” why does ft always turn out to be something foolish or un reasonable? THE SCIENCE OP BO ADS At a road conference in Paris It was decided that the proper spread ing of tar on mecadamized roads Is an effective means of preventing dust. The method is largely used in France. About one-thitd of a gallon of tar is used for each square yard of surface. The roads last longer and cost of maintenance is reduced. In the United States oil is employ ed to a considerable extent to prevent dust and preserve the surface of roads. The oil is spread from carts during the making of the road to the amount of one or two gallons a square yard. The French road engineers recom mend the planting of trees along roadsides as a means of preventing dust. In France all roads not less than thirty-three feet wide are re quired to have a single line of trees on each side, at distances apart vary ing from sixteen to thirty-two feet.
